Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s “The Contest” can be called a work of historical fiction because it describes the former Roman Emperor Nero and recreates ancient Rome and Greece. So he took the events of the year 66 AD as a basis of the setting and chose Emperor Nero as the main character. The whole plot does not have any connections with the real events in history, author just made everything up, so it is a fiction built on historical basis.<span>

Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

Tiresias tells him that as he refuses to bury Polynices and his punishment of Antigone for the same reason, god will curse people of Thebes. On hearing this, Creon calls him a false prophet and refuse to list to his advice.

Explanation:

In ''The Oedipus Plays'', Tiresias is the blind soothsayer of Thebes. Creon decided that he will listen to Teiresias’s advice as he owes so much to his past advice. Tiresias tells him that as he refuses to bury Polynices and his punishment of Antigone for the same reason, god will curse people of Thebes. On hearing this, Creon calls him a false prophet and refuse to list to his advice.
